    Tool Identification Help

    Hello everyone. I found this in a box of my Grandfather's stuff and have never seen it before. My apologies for the blurriness. Any ideas?

    Take the meanest, rustiest plane you have. Clean it, grind and
    sharpen the blade like a razor, and then set it up. Now, with the
    plane set very fine, run it over a scrap of oak. Hear the sound it
    makes, and feel the perfect finish. What a thrill! --John Brown

    It is a special tool made by Stanley that automatically makes your pictures really blurry.

    The picture is indeed blurry, especially if you enlarge it. Makes me want to adjust my set.
    However, the object in question is a cam depth stop for a Stanley no. 45 combination plane.

    It's a steady rest for a plow plane. When you are making a groove far away for the edge this helps keeps the plane's attitude even.
